Wait, she was 84? I thought she was 84 when the show was airing. Hold on...is there any left alive? I could've sworn I was watching Tales From The Crypt whenever they came on. Anyhow, r.i.p EGetty.

Don't be silly paul. she was just as old as the rest of the cast, she just happened to PLAY someone older. The rest of the girls are still alive. i'm going to be so depressed when we lose the next Golden Girl, Estelle was sick, and has been m.i.a. from all of the GG reunions, it still hurts though,

I'm Dorothy, I may be a slut, but not to the point of Blanche.

Dorothy was the one who sounded like a guy, no?

Actually if I remember right EG was actually a little younger then the other GG's but they made her up to look older due to her size. I never understood though how she was so tiny and her daughter was an amazon.
